47 New Hot Wheels Collectibles to Start Hunting for Soon

I currently have two boxes of Hot Wheels collectibles in the trunk of my station wagon. I’ve decided against opening them before the third one arrives in a few days. I almost don’t remember what all the items I ordered are, and that’s not something that would have happened 10 years ago.
  

You just get used to it after a while. It’s not like the excitement fades, but you learn to control your impulses and delay the gratification for later. I guess knowing these cars won’t come into play this month might have influenced the situation a bit.

That’s because I’ll only be opening two more Hot Wheels models for the next two unboxing stories, while most of the other vehicles will have the Tarmac Works logo on them. Anyway, the 40th Annual Hot Wheels Collectors Convention in Los Angeles is coming to an end today, and you know what that means!

We finally know what the Finale Car for this event is, and I must say I didn’t expect to see the 1992 GMC Typhoon taking on this role. With only 4,000 units ever rolling out of the factory, prices are already up to over $150 on eBay.

But the main reason I started writing this story is because we finally have some official sneak peeks for what’s coming next in both 2026 and 2027. We’ve already seen some of these in recent months, but I promise you there are plenty of exciting new models inside too!

Basics

The same goes for the Corvette C7 Z06, the ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 and the Custom ‘66 Toronado. If you have a Walmart nearby, Case B will feature two ZAMAC items: the Celero GT and the Corvette Grand Sport Roadster. The Police-spec BNR34 will be part of Mix C, which also welcomes the Braille Racer – Deora II.

Kroger stores get a selection of four new recolors, and there’s no doubt in my mind that the Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be the most sought-after one of the bunch. I’m not typically a fan of Red Edition releases (never owned one before), but I’d definitely like a closer look at the Drift-Ender. We will have to wait until Case D for the Draguar, and I still can’t believe we’re getting a Mainline item in 2027 that features an opening body.

There’s probably a good chance it will make its way into one of the Premium series, and I’m sure many of us would love it if Mattel revived Dragstrip Demons for the occasion. The Tyco Turbo Hopper is a brand-new casting for 2027, and it will be part of the same case. I can’t be nostalgic about it cause I couldn’t afford an RC car when I was kid, which doesn’t mean it won’t be successful.

Also, wouldn’t it be nicer if the first-gen Mazda RX-7 finally had Real Riders wheels and a metal base instead of just getting a recolor? Case E could be a pretty solid one, with three new castings joining the Mitsubishi Starion Super Treasure Hunt.

Drifty Seven might just become hugely popular in the future, while the Ferrari 296 GTS will likely get the same levels of attention from Day One. I’m all for a new version of the Toyota GR86, but I’m starting to feel the Pandem fatigue already.

With the Ferrari 12Cilindri confirmed as a STH in Case F, the 1989 Ford Mustang LX and the 2026 Morgan Super Sport are the two other surprises in that mix. I’ve left a few recolors out of the discussion so that you can enjoy discovering them in the photo gallery instead.

Silver Series

The latter has the advantage of a metal base, and I’m almost concerned finding one will be difficult. We’ve seen photos of the European barn finds from the Vintage Club set, too, and I have mixed feelings about it. I’ve also abandoned my own experiment of trying to turn regular Hot Wheels into rusty collectibles, as there was no real progress after several months of trying.

Hey, at least I had no clue about the Celebrations/Toyota mix. The T100 is just Phil Riehlman’s old Baja Truck casting, and not a new casting as I thought it was for a minute. The 1970 Celica was only available as a Multipack release in 2026, while the Land Cruiser 80 was a Blue and Gold Anniversary model.

Jun Imai’s 2000GT has had several Silver Series iterations over the past few years, but I’m under the impression most collectors are nostalgic over its 2016 Japan Historics version. As for the Starlet, it’s bound to have a metal base as that’s what it was like from its 2021 debut. It’s difficult to tell which wheels it will be on this time though.

Hot Wheels 1:43

Three new models are joining the ranks, starting with the LBWK GTR in black and blue. It should come as no surprise as this seems to be identical to the First Edition of Ryu Asada’s Nissan 35GT-RR VER.2 from several years ago.

While ‘Tooned cars seemed like a great idea in the 1:64th-scale Universe, I don’t think they can be as cute and desirable in 1:43rd scale. Kids might love the Porsche 964 Turbo, while adult collectors might lose their minds over the ‘55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser.

We all know how popular Brendon Vetuskey’s design is, and this Triassic Five livery looks similar to the 2021 RLC Selections one. Greddy was the theme for the first release of the Toyota Supra, and it’s obviously no match for the Falken colors.

Watching Lamley’s video of the sneak peek session I noticed the crowd went wild for the yellow ‘83 Chevy Silverado. Meanwhile I’m still here hoping the Ford F-250 would make a comeback sooner rather than later. The Datsun Bluebird 510 seems to be the only new casting in Mix 2, where it will probably be out shined by both the Nissan Skyline GT-R and the Porsche 934.5.

I can’t believe the Kool Kombi is also making the jump over to 1:43, while it was bound to happen to the R34. Its reputation might still last for a few more years by contrast to the Supra, which means diecast manufacturers will try to squeeze every single last ounce of hype out of it.

I’ll be back soon with more news from the Premium lines, as there’s plenty of information to go through in that part of the hobby. I’ve saved some of the new Pull-Back Speeders models for later, too.
